In the consumer society in which we live, we put our hands between the great advertising gods who clearly direct our lives but especially our plates. The dogma of "Eat 3 dairy products a day" is well anchored in our memories and mothers - but not only them - have no other solution than to follow this "truth" because it has now become part of our customs and consumption habits.
The media has clearly taken over and the few researchers or health professionals who have decided to come out of the shadows to state the real facts are often put in the dock. And yet .... What if we listened to them to finally change health care?
In addition to the various problems that the abusive and daily consumption of milk can have on health, we will focus on the problem of osteoporosis. In fact, we often hear women in menopause insisting on the importance of consuming milk, yoghurt and cheese to avoid this evil that frightens them.
Cow's milk is concentrated in calcium, of course we do not go against that, but in no way it prevents or prevents osteoporosis. This could be explained by the additional presence of a mineral that causes the urinary leakage of this calcium as well as an acidification of the soil: phosphorus. It is clearly the unsuitable ratio of calcium to phosphorus for humans that is a concern.
So if we lose too quickly, by urinary way, this calcium that we consume through cow's milk and that, in addition, we ingest this milk which is acidifying (pral index of the whole milk: 0,7), much too acidifying, why continue to poison ourselves thus?
Let us briefly recall that the acidification of the soil leads to demineralization and therefore to a certain fall towards osteoporosis due to a lack of minerals. And yet we need calcium, see (Source: Menopause, Andropause by Daniel Kieffer, Editions Jouvence):
- Children 1 to 3 years 600 mg per day
- Adolescents 13 to 19 years old 1200 to 1500 mg per day
- Pregnant women 1200 to 1500 mg per day
- Menopausal women 1200 to 1500 mg per day
- Adults generally 600 to 900 mg per day
But if we are advised against milk as a source of calcium, how do we get it in our bodies?
Since calcium from milk is not properly assimilated by our body, it is preferable to turn to calcium from vegetable sources which is fully assimilable:
- Seaweed: 100 grams correspond to a daily intake well above our needs
- Sesame seeds
- Nettle
- Almonds: the ideal solution is to prepare a homemade vegetable milk but you want to buy it in an organic store because you don't have the time. You should know that most vegetable milks are enriched with seaweed for an optimal calcium intake.
- Sheep's milk cheese
- Sardines with their bones
- Raw kale
- Watercress
- Cabbage kale
- Sprouted seeds
- Parmesan: because this type of cheese is really interesting for its high calcium content.
- Broccoli
- Spinach
If, in spite of a healthy and complete diet, your treatment requires the taking of food supplements prescribed by a therapist (don't forget that self-medication is totally inadvisable because it often leads to much more serious situations), make sure you consume products with dosages and qualities that suit you.
The dairy industries are not going to like this kind of article and yet it is now high time to put forward the health of each one of us and to go towards the truth The health of each and every citizen is far more important than the health of these milk factories, which also rarely use ethical methods to treat their cows.
